Seasonal Activity Chart
Largemouth Bass
Andover, Minnesota, offers some surprisingly good largemouth bass fishing within the Twin Cities metro area. The numerous small lakes and ponds scattered throughout the city and surrounding Anoka County are the key. These aren't giant, sprawling lakes, but they warm up quickly in the spring, making for an early and aggressive bass bite. Look for fish holding near weed edges, docks, and any submerged structure. Early morning and late evening are prime times. Spring (late May-June) and fall (September-October) are generally the most productive seasons. A local tip: many of these smaller lakes lack developed boat ramps. A kayak or canoe is often the best way to access them, allowing you to quietly explore the shoreline. Also, pay close attention to local regulations regarding catch-and-release, as some lakes may have specific rules in place to maintain a healthy bass population. The bass here tend to be on the smaller side, but what they lack in size, they make up for in aggression!
